If the surrounding ivory face plastic is still usable possibly there is a watch crystal in a size that would work for the individual number openings?http://www.allwatchparts.com/Watch-Crystals_c_27.html If the supporting plastic is bad then maybe not an option.

The restoration places Joe and Chris listed might be able to help but if not, Lavine Restoration seems to be slowly expanding their dash plastic selections. Didn't see a listing now but if something is not already in the works they might be interested in producing a 180 set that could incorporate a watch crystal size.https://classiccarreproductions.com/product-category/dash-plastic/

I don't remember if there is a larger glass covering the entire plastic and individual round number clock and speedo openings but if there is Norkro Clock has some convex glass sizes that might work. I seem to recall someone on the forum saying Norkro had a glass that fit their particular model perfectly but don't recall the car in question.https://norkro.com/collections/glass-for-clocks
